Queen of Peace Senior Class Participates in Arts Without Borders Program
Burbank, IL –December 17, 2013 – Each year the senior class at Queen of Peace High School participates in an Arts Without Borders Program. The Arts Without Borders Program is an enrichment program in which students participate in a variety of cultural and fine arts experiences offered throughout the greater Chicago-land area.
Over 4 years, each student will engage in 8 trips/experiences, 2 each year, which include plays, symphonies, operas, music and dance performances, museums, special exhibits and cultural programs. These experiences in total are designed to: engage students in diverse settings, widen their exposure to all forms of artistic and cultural expression, deepen their awareness of the wealth of arts resources available and promote creativity and diversity in its many and beautiful forms.
The Neo-Futurists, a troop of actors did an abbreviated show of Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind for the seniors. Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is a show that has been running for 25 years downtown. The actors did 15 plays in 30 minutes for the senior girls.

After the performance, the girls were broken down into smaller groups to attend three workshops about motivation, their particular style of performance, etc. run by the actors.
The students then had a twenty minute question and answer where they learned about the backgrounds of the actors, their motivations, how they wrote the plays. The girls were very engaged and the performances and workshops were excellent.
